[Bug 877534] Re: Evolution problems after upgrade to ubuntu 11.10

 

I upgraded from 11.04 to 11.10 and Evolution refused to load after the
upgrade. Luckily, I backed up Evolution data prior to upgrade.

Ubuntu 11.10 has changed the default email client from Evolution to
Thunderbird. Please refer release notes for 11.10 -
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/OneiricOcelot/ReleaseNotes

It would be advisable to warn all up-graders of Ubuntu 11.10 to backup
their Evolution files prior to upgrade.

Title:
  Evolution problems after upgrade to ubuntu 11.10

Status in “evolution” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  I upgraded to Ubuntu 11.10.

  Evolution decided to change my personal options. The option under
  "receiving options - message storage" was changed to: delete after 7
  days. I LOST thousands of email. I can not access any of my email
  anymore from remote location via the web interface. This really sucks.
  This is very very very bad written code. It caused me a lot of
  problems.
